No burn tab in my itunes

If I insert a blank cd I get the pop-up..so it's obviously reading my disc player.. but there is no burn tab at the bottom of iTunes. No burn tab in preferences and no burn selection if right clicking on the album to be burned.

Anyone know why this is?

As you can see from the pictures.. that is a playlist as far as I know and everything is checked. the pictures also show that I did right click it. There are absolutely no burn settings and no burn options available. I can burn fine from other programs like winamp.. I just don't want to have to go through the hassle of reorganizing everything in winamp like I already have it organized on i-Tunes. I have no problem importing cd's so connectivity isn't the problem.
If I'm doing something wrong please post a picture of what your burn settings look like so I have something to compare to.

How to fix freeze/lock ups when opening Burn tab under iTunes Preferences

Played around the past few nights with two PC's with the same problem after upgrading to iTunes 6.0. Would open burn tab under preferences and promptly lock up iTunes. Thought it was a driver problem, etc... Thanks to Toonz, here is what solved it simply for me on both PC's:
Run iTunes Help, CD Diagnostics, Run "CD diagnostics" and save output file from CD diagnostics somewhere on your PC (not even sure it's necessary to save file) and you should be able to view your burner tab and the CD/DVD drives preferences. Seems that iTunes CD diagnostics file gets corrupted, and needs updating after updating iTunes.

Silver, thanks for posting these instructions which were originally posted by MacMuse on the following thread.

Itunes freezes on Burning tab access

When i go to the preferences option under edit, and then select the advanced tab everything works fine. But when i click on the Burning tab my itunes freezes up and i have to log out using the task manager. For as long as i can remember it has always been slow to work but now it just doesn't work at all. I ran out of ideas to fix it. Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks,

triplesports17,
The upper / lower filters in your registry is where it has the queue of CD drivers and the order that it loads them into Windows when you boot. And the order that all CD commands go through the system — all CD commands are passed from driver to driver in this order until it find the driver that wants the command. It's possible to get old, out of date drivers here and have problems with bugs in these drivers because the iTunes CD commands will go through them first on the way to its CD driver. For example, in your case, that AFS2K driver is from a company called Oak Technology that has been out of the CD driver business for years and years. I'm suspicious of that driver in your queue.
Your other two drivers, Pxhelp20 is Sonic Solutions and they're good, I seldom see a problem with them, and GEARAspiWDM is the iTunes CD driver.
So, let's try a quick experiment to see if that's the problem.
On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
Delete the key named LowerFilter. This will temporarily remove both the Sonic Solutions and the Oak Technologies drivers, but we're going to put them back after the experiment.
Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.

ITunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences

iTunes freezes when trying to access "burning" tab in advanced preferences and also when attempting to hit burn cd button in lower left corner.

Thank you SO much!!! This is Exactly the problem I was having. I have spent untold hours in the last couple of days trying to resolve not only iTunes freezing up, but my network connectivity went bust as well. I like Blink so I'm undecided about whether to uninstall it yet, so I just disabled all of its firewall settings, and presto!... I can not only get my CD/DVD player to read and burn CD's, but iTunes and my computer remain functional. I got my computer to reconnect to the internet by doing a System Restore at a point prior to my trying to burn a CD. Thanks again so much. You saved my entire week!

ITunes freezes if I Click burn or burn tab in preferences

Whenever I click burn or the burn tab under advance in preferences iTunes freezes and I have to use the task manager to close and re-boot. I am able to import without a problem at all. Also, when I tried to do the CD-Diagnostics test, it froze too. I am not sure where to go next as I have tried re-installing multiple times.

(1)JUST BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW AND CAN NOT FIX THE ISSUE IS NO REASON TO GET STUPID WITH ME.
(2) THE REASON I AM USING THIS THREAD YOU POPASS (NO NOT A MISS SPELLING) PUNK. IS BECAUSE I AM NEW TO ITUNES I FIGURED THEIR MIGHT BE SOME PEOPLE THAT WORKED FOR ITUNES TO LATCH ON AND FIGURE THIS OUT, BUT IT IS OBVIOUS YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. IF YOU DID YOU WOULD HAVE JUMPED RIGHT ON IT.
I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT AS LONG AS I HAVE A BLANK CD IN BAY 2 BEFORE I OPEN ITUNES. WITH OUT A BLANK IN TRAY 2 AS SOON AS I CLICK EDIT, PREFERENCE, BURNING ADVANCE TAB THEN BURN MY MACHINE LOCKS UP ONLY IN ITUNES AND DRIVE 2 IS ALSO LOCKED UP IT WILL NOT EJECT CD OR ANYTHING. AS WILL CLICKING BURN IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF ITUNES I CAN STILL DO OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE COMPUTER, BUT TO GET THE DRIVE BACK OR TO CLOSE ITUNES I HALF NO CHOICE BUT TO POWER MY MACHINE DOWN. YES THE PROBLEM IS PROBABLY CONFLICTING SOFTWARE THAT I TUNES DID NOT DO AS THOROUGH OF A JOB AS THE SHOULD HAVE BEFORE THEY RELEASED THEIR SOFTWARE.
I ONLY CAN SAY TO Vicasey TO TRY AND PUT A BLANK CD IN THE DRIVE 2 AND TRY IT. IF ITUNES STILL LOCKS UP THEN CLOSE EVERYTHING OUT IN THE SYS TRAY EITHER THROUGH THE START, MSCONFIG OR JUST CLOSING EACH ITEM OUT ONE AT A TIME TO FIND OUT WITCH SOFTWARE IS CONFLICTING, OR ITUNES AGAIN NEEDS TO DO THEIR JOB AND PUT OUT A UPDATE FOR THE DRIVE'S WE ARE USING SO THEIR SOFTWARE WILL WORK LIKE IT SHOULD BEFORE THE RELEASED THEIR CRAP.
SORRY I STEPPED IN YOURE THREAD VICASEY AND GOOD LUCK WORKING WITH THIS RUDE PERSON THAT DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE

Trying to burn a playlist in itunes and i get this message at the end 'The attempt to burn a disc failed. An nknown error occurred (4450)'. This is with a new Dell laptop running windows 8. The playlist was 17 songs from cd's and itunes. Any ideas?

try this...
This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.

Cannot burn CD after installing Itunes

I recently isntalled Itunes and cannot now burn CD's outside of Itunes. Whenever I click on the CD-RW drive i get the error message "incorrect fucntion". There is also now a tab missing from the properties of the drive. I can update the registry setting for this drive to let windows know it is a writebale drive (change the type from a 3 to a 2) and that gives me back the missing tab but then Itunes complains that it needs to be reinstalled because the CD settings have changed. When Itunes gets re-installed the drive type goes back to a 3 from the 2 and I can no longer write CD's using the drive! A work colleague of mine appears to have the same issue (we have the same laptop type and are running the same version of windows). Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Whenever I click on the CD-RW drive i get the error message "incorrect fucntion".
do you have an old version of Easy CD Creator on your PC? usually that symptom is associated with that. see:
"Incorrect function" error message when you access the CD-ROM drive, the DVD-ROM drive, or the CD-RW drive
if you don't currently have one of those versions of Easy CD Creator on the PC, have you ever had oneinstalled on the PC? if so, leftover device filter entries in your Registry may be conflicting with the itunes device filters, causing the issue. if that's what is going, the techniques from the following document may be of some help:

HT2953 After I burn a CD onto iTunes, I cannot find it in my iTunes library

I want to burn an Album onto iTunes. It is imported. However, it does not come under that artist.
What do I do?

Hello Marks232,
There are two places I would check, the fires would be in iTunes in the movies sections. There should be a Rental tab in that section. If you do not see it then check out the following article to see if the file has been downloaded to your computer.
Where are my iTunes files located?

If you still cannot find it, then refer to the following article for issues about your purchase.

Clicking Burn button always causes itunes to crash

Trying to burn a cd and following Help's instructions, when I click on "Burn" this always causes itunes to crash. Why and what's the fix? I did try downloading newest itunes software, which I actually already had, in hopes this would "overlay" and fix problem but no luck.
Thanks ...

I have the same problem on os x 10.6.3. I am unable to drag and drop (e.g. manually manage) book content. When I try, the file begins to transfer over and then iTunes crashes.
There aren't any problems with the ePub documents (which I got from Project Gutenberg). Under the "Books" tab on the iPad device, if I select "Sync Books", iTunes is able to sync up all of my books (just like other users have reported in this thread). However, iTunes deletes all of my other content and disables the "Manually manage music and videos" under the summary tab.
This should not be an "all or nothing" situation where books, movies and music are all interconnected. Photos and podcasts may be synchronized independently of other media types. In addition, "books" are not mentioned in the "manually manage" option under summary. Apple, please fix this bug and update the interface in itunes so that books are explicitly mentioned in the "manually manage" option under summary or so that books are removed from the movies/music sync system.

HT2953 When I burn a CD from iTunes, it doesn't play on my CD player! What am I doing wrong?

I see the folder on my desktop, and I click on burn to cd. I put in a Imation CD-r 1x-52x, 700MB 80 min, and when I take it to a cd player, nothing is on it! I tried the cd player w/ another cd and it plays just fine. I tried this 3x w/ just two songs...any suggestions?

Since this is purchased music, you have 2 choices only audio or data CD. I suspect you are burning to data CD & that's why your Alpine locked up. Data discs are only used for backup purposes. Go to your iTunes preferences, then advanced>burning tab, make sure you are set for an audio CD under the burning tab. An audio CD should be recoginized by any car or home stereo.

Selecting Burning Tab In Advanced Preferences

Greetings!
When I select the 'Burning' Tab in 'Advanced' preferences, my PC locks up and this lasts for 20 minutes plus. The only option is to ctrl alt delete and force quit the iTunes app. I am selecting this tab because my iTunes 7.4.1 will not burn CD's. I had this problem in the past and corrected it by selecting a slower burn rate from the menu in this tab. How can I access this in preferences without iTunes freezing? Any help would be enourmously appreciated!
Thanks
Walter

The Import settings button has moved in iTunes 8 to iTunes prefs -> General.
Click the *Import settings* button.
Set it as you want
When you right click a song, you can select *Create xxx version*, where xxx is what you have set in the *Import settings*.

I tried to burn a cd and i went to the menu and then preferences but theirs no burn tab

I tried to burn a cd i went to the menu and then preferences but there is no burn tab??

Keith nailed the title explanation, iTunes sends some information to a database which checks "fingerprints" of your song against what it has on record. Once you can mount your disc, you can send the information about your specific album to gracenote through iTunes (it's likely under the Advanced menu, but look around for the option to submit info).
as for your CDs not working, its possible you got a bad run of discs, it does happen ocasionally. if you can get another batch (and especially brand) of CD to try you may find that that one works.

I see no burning TAB

i went to my iTunes preferances and i see no tab called "BURNING"
i added a few songs to my library
and i wantd to TEST burning to cd just to make sure i can do it before i start purchasing songs from the store
the help section says the following but i have no tab called BURNING
Burning an audio CD in iTunes for Windows
Using iTunes for Windows, you can burn an audio CD with your computer's CD-R or CD-RW drive.
If your computer has a CD-R or CD-RW capable drive, including some DVD-R and DVD+R drives, you can make or "burn" an audio CD using iTunes for Windows. If you're not sure what kind of drive your computer has, or if it can burn a CD, you can easily find out.
To burn an audio CD:
1. Open iTunes for Windows.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
3. Click the Burning tab.
4. Select "Audio CD" as the disc format.
-------------

When you have the playlist open that you want to burn, look in the lower right-hand corner, there's a "burn disc" button. You push this and you should be good to go.
(This button location has changed from previous iTunes versions so it's confusing.)
