No longer allowed to burn CD of ITunes purchases?

Just bought an album and was trying to burn it to CD so I could play on my home stereo.
Burn option is now gone, and Toast crashes, so I'm assuming that I am SOL to use my purchase except on an iPod or my home computer.
Is this now policy for all purchased music?
Will think twice about buying any more if this is the case.

Using latest iTunes 7.5 (19). Downloaded an album. Normally, I would select all the songs, and then a burn to disk icon would be available down below. When I "right click" (hold down the control key), I don't get an option in the list for burning a disc. The only thing close is convert to AAC (which I am not allowed to do).
I ended up going to Amazon and purchasing the disc, which ironically, cost less with shipping than my crippled iTunes purchase.

Can't burn or play itunes purchases outside itunes

I have purchased tracks that I want to burn on to CD. The tracks are in mp4 format and cannot be recognised to play or burn in Nero or Windows Media Player. Can anyone tell me how to combat this problem or am I doomed

Unless they are 'iTunes plus' purchases which are DRM free, the songs are copy protected. Apple will not allow us to discuss circumventing the copy protection.
Why can't you burn them in iTunes?

Burned CDs from iTunes purchases play in some stereo units and not others

My car stereo has no problems playing CDs I've recently burned from itunes purchases. My wife's car stereo can't! She doesn't have an ipod dock in her 9 year old car so it's CDs or nothing. Anyone have any ideas why the discs won't play in her car but do play on every other CD player (including my PC) that we own?
Her car stereo has no issues playing other CDs, including CDs I've burned from itunes which were originally uploaded from CDs by me.
It seems to be the most recent three purchases from itunes that are the problem. Do I need to convert the AAC files back to MP3 before burning or some other clever cheat?
Thnx in advance

Thnx for the comments Chris CA.
Yes, Audio CD is selected when I burn the CDs.

No longer able to burn CDs in iTunes 9.2.1.5

I looked at the FAQ, checked everything it suggests including device filters, everything looks good. I can backup iTunes library to CD-R no problem. I can burn audio CD-R with other programs no problem (I used exact audio copy). iTunes detects both audio and MP3 data CDs no problem. I just cannot burn a disc from iTunes. I used to be able to a couple of weeks ago. I still can on a different computer. I get no error messages. When I insert a blank CD-R, the drive reads it for a while, but iTunes never seems to see it.
I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. No change.
I browsed through the forums, didn't find anything that helped.
Any suggestions for anything else to try would be appreciated.

I have cleaned off my hard drive and re installed Windows 7. I downloaded Itunes V 10 and still can not burn a disk. I tunes error msg says Itunes.exe has campatiblity problem with old setting. I have disabled all compatibility settings.
Thanks,

Get static sounds on CD after burning CD of iTunes purchased music

I am able to burn CDs (finally...) after lots of trouble with burns. BUT, now the CDs have the music very faint in the background with lots of static sounds over top. Obviously, it is not "listenable".
Please give me suggestions of what to try. I had bought more iTunes music thinking that I was going to be able to burn CDs. Help!
IBM Thinkpad Windows XP iTunes version 7.1.1.5

can you post your DVD/CD diagnostics for us? in iTunes, go "help > run diagnostics", select DVD/CD diagnostics, and paste the results into a reply.
also, what particular Family of ThinkPad do you have? the iTunes diagnostics will return the Type and Model of ThinkPad ... but i also need to know the Family in order to check for downloads at Lenovo:

Burning cds from Itunes

Cannot burn cds from itunes purchased cds or itunes playlists

Hi Queenv77,
Whether or not the track infomation shows up on a burned CD depends on if you are creating an Audio CD or an MP3 CD; track information is not available on audio CDs. The following articles have more information regarding burning CDs from iTunes:

Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:

Can no longer burn CDs in iTunes

I have successfully been burning CDs in iTunes until recently. I can now no longer burn an audio CD. The CDs I am using are the same as before (CD-R, same make etc) and I am trying to burn albums purchased through iTunes. No error message comes up, it just doesn't burn. I have the latest version of iTunes loaded but can't remember when I loaded this. Perhaps my problems have occurred since then? Can anyone help?

HELP! I updated my software and can no longer burn cds using iTunes

I followed all of the troubleshooting steps for not being able to burn a cd. I was able to burn cds with other cd burning programs installed on my pc, but itunes was the only program that would not burn the cd correctly. itunes would go through the entire process of burning: check media, check playlist, burn cd, finish burning cd. itunes would even ask me if I wanted to import the new cd into my playlist after it finished "burning" my cd but there was never anything on the cd. I also tried playing the cd using other programs and in other equipment but it never worked. I updated my software recently and I thought I could try to go back to an older version because I never had this problem before. However, when I uninstalled the newer version and tried to reinstall an older version of itunes, the older version of itunes refused to open because my music library was apparently created by the newer version of itunes. I don't know what to do to be able to burn cds again. At this point, I would much rather use another cd burning program but itunes is the only program that will burn the songs that I've purchased from itunes onto a cd.

Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac

Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac?

Apparently so (as long as each user operates out of a different Mac User account).
After setting up home sharing in the various different user accounts on the Mac, you need to have iTunes open in the account that you want to Home Share from.
Now use fast User Switching to get into the account that you want to Home Share to. Launch iTunes in there. The library in the other account should appear as shared for you.

My iPod Classic will no longer allow me to create podcast playlists. I've restored it twice. What is the problem?

My iPod Classic will no longer allow me to create podcast playlists. It create music playlists. I've restored it twice. What is the problem?

Is the problem that you can create them in iTunes, but they are empty on the iPod itself? If so, I had that problem, and the issue appeared to be that playlists that used MediaType=Podcast didn't seem to transfer. If, on the other hand, I gave all podcasts a Genre of Podcast, it worked better. In general, with the older iPod classic, I found that playlists based on MediaType didn't work that well.

Apple TV (1st Gen) no longer seen in device list in iTunes 10.4.

Apple TV (1st Gen) no longer seen in device list in iTunes 10.4. I can see it in the multiple speaker list and I can connect to it that way, it is not seen as a device in order for me to sync content. Any ideas?
I've tried:
1.) rebooting my network
2.) rebooing my AppleTV
3.) Running diagnostics on my AppleTV (everything is working 'fine.')
4.) Rebooting iTunes
5.) Rebooing my computer
6.) .....
Please help.

Check the firewall allows access for iTunes, try disabling the firewall if necessary. Try restarting the router.
Also try de/re connecting your iTunes library from your Apple TV; disconnect from the Apple TV (Settings/Computers/Your_Library) and reconnect again (Settings/Computers/Connect_to_iTunes) - You will need to re-sync previously synced content.

Hi there BDempster,

iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12317
You can use iTunes to sync the contacts, calendars, notes, Safari bookmarks, and email account information on your computer with your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. iTunes also syncs this information from your device to your computer—for example, if you add contacts on your iPad, syncing adds those contacts to Windows address book or Outlook Express on your computer.

Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

"iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

HT1386 Some iTunes purchased music no longer plays on my phone 4s.

Recently my Iphone (which I have had for almost a year with no issue) 4s filled its memory with "Other" and it was coded yellow on the status bar.... This "other" filled my entire 32 gig phone which didnt allow any other information to be stored. I resynced my phone to factory settings to try and reset my phone. Once I did that the "other" was gone but now a good portion of my itunes purchased music no longer plays on my phone. I dont have iTunes sharing so thats not the issue....My other iPhone 4s is fine and all music plays ok....

Try syncing all the music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then back on.
